With E fixed at the end, the pair of letters just before it does the sorting. A and I lead the fifth slot by a wide margin, and endings such as -ATE, -INE and -AGE return again and again. Thirty common words make this a friendlier pattern than most.

Where the 296 words come from

Coverage stands at 290 for Collins, 225 for NWL2023 and 212 for ENABLE.
Thirty words are common, including OUTSIDE, CULTURE, JUSTICE, PURPOSE and SURFACE.
Average score is 11.1, with QUINZIE the highest at 25.
S starts 52 words, O starts 39 and C starts 26.
OUT- accounts for 37 words, and SUB- accounts for 19.

Which endings should you try first?

-ATE is the largest at 25 words, SULFATE among them. Next come -INE with 17 (CUISINE, TURBINE, OUTLINE), -AGE with 16 (LUGGAGE, OUTRAGE), -ITE with 13 and -IKE with 12.

-BLE adds 11 more, such as DURABLE and AUDIBLE, and -TTE adds 10. A fills the fifth slot in 78 words and I in 77, which together give 155 of the 296. That is a little over half, so test those vowels before any consonant.

What are the OUT and SUB words?

OUT- opens 37 words, about one in eight, and OUTR- is the biggest four-letter start with 7. OUTSIDE, OUTCOME, OUTLINE and OUTRAGE are the common ones.

SUB- opens 19, with SUBLIME the best known. QUI- opens 10, and that group holds the two highest scores, QUINZIE and QUIXOTE. Everyday S and O words score far less, mostly between 7 and 16 points.

How risky is this pattern in NWL2023?

Seventy-one of the 296 are missing from NWL2023, including GUARDEE, QUACKLE, SUCCADE and PUCELLE. QUINZIE, at 25, is the opposite case: NWL2023 has it and Collins does not.

QUIXOTE scores 23 and QUICKIE 22, and both pass in every list. QUACKLE and BUMBAZE also reach 22 but only in Collins.

Questions people ask

How many 7-letter words have U second and E last?

Collins has 290 of the 296, NWL2023 has 225 and ENABLE has 212. The fifth letter is A in 78 and I in 77, so those two vowels cover about half the list. A rack with A, I and E is a natural fit.

What are the common words that end in E?

OUTSIDE, CULTURE, JUSTICE, PURPOSE, SURFACE, SUPREME, SUICIDE, SUPPOSE, SURVIVE and OUTCOME lead the thirty common words. Most start with S or O, which narrows the first guess.

Which word scores the most?

QUINZIE scores 25 points but is valid only in NWL2023. In Collins, NWL2023 and ENABLE alike, QUIXOTE leads at 23, followed by QUICKIE at 22.
